Audiosurf: Ride Your Music

Indie PC rhythm game that's in open beta this weekend (and going on sale next month). It's sort of like Frequency and/or Amplitude...or, if you haven't played either of them, it's sort of like "Guitar Hero meets F-Zero meets Klax".

Oh, and it works off of your own mp3s. Any of them you like.

This by far is the most bad ass game ever!

I've been playing through my library and the tracks become insane on even some of the ones you wouldn't think would be good, like Lord of the rings music.

Juno Reactor and other fast paced techno music are insane though.

do you play on the cracked demo?

GuardianX · 01-27-2008, 05:37 PM

maaaybe?

I plan on buying it when it releases in feb though, game is so freaking fun and with online leaderboards it's worth a buy.

Can use any music that is the proper format.

I couldn't help but feel like I was playing the battle toads level where you are on the bike and you have to avoid those walls.

Steam - News

Quote:

Audiosurf, Dylan Fitterer's innovative new title that allows gamers to "ride their music," is now available for pre-purchase via Steam. Save 10% when you pre-purchase before its official release on Friday, February 15.

Audiosurf is a music-adapting puzzle racer where you use your own music to create your own experience. The shape, the speed, and the mood of each ride is determined by the song you choose. You earn points for clustering together blocks of the same color on the highway, and compete with others on the internet for the high score on your favorite songs.

Audiosurf on Steam includes The Orange Box soundtrack, integrated with the game to enable "Still Alive" surfing and more. In addition, Audiosurf is one of the first titles to leverage the recently announced Steamworks, offering full support for the Steam Achievements that appear on Steam Community profile pages.

Price is ten dollars (nine if you pre-order on Steam) and it unlocks this Friday.

Also please note that I will hunt down and kill IRL any of you fuckheads that don't buy this game - this is exactly the sort of awesome indie game given the chance to shine that everybody should support.

GuardianX · 02-14-2008, 01:53 AM

is it me or are the maps easier? for some reason I am sensing that my scores are jumping 30k points on average and the maps are moving WAY slower...

Sad face if so...

EDIT: holy crap a whole $8.95 on steam for preorder...yeah I bought it and am considering buying it for my friend who refused to play it because he has a mac and only loads his windows box when he wants to play TF2...

Yeah, picked this up this morning on the cheap. Seriously, more devs. need to focus on this type of game style (indie, not mass produced per say.) and my money will be substantially less due to game purchases.

I been on these forums a while, and Itzena is a constant source of wisdom. Obey!

How long does it take to analyze a song to create a track?

EEEE does the same thing but it takes a good while to do it to the point that I'd not go through the hassle - looking forward to this!

BUY.

Loads immediately.

Ok this fucking rocks, bought it!

Got it preloaded on steam after downloading the beta version. Very cool, but be aware if you have a lot of music that is DRM protected you will need a program like Tunebite to kill the DRM.
